Edit: haven't you been slightly suspicious of why the MSM publicized Bitcoin so much. That doesn't happen without the approval the global elite.
No, because they really didn't.
They started covering it only after it starting making new highs in 2013. They covered a bit of the Silk Road and MtGox stuff, but never in a manner that promoted Bitcoin at all. The latter was often mis-reported as Bitcoin having failed or gone bankrupt or something.
Since the price sagged in 2014, they barely cover it at all. Occasionally there is something in business news (WSJ, Bloomberg, etc.) but that's about it. Hearn's piece in the NYT was unusual, and again negative. A lot of the (business) coverage now avoids mentioning Bitcoin at all and talks about "the blockchain" (of course, that's where most of the VC money is going too).
I don't see the MSM promoting Bitcoin at all. If Bitcoin enjoys further success from here it will without (short term) help from MSM/elite.
You can still find non-tech people or even some tech people who have never heard of it, or think it failed in 2014. Some
techie I know outside of crypto recently owed me $20. I asked if he wanted to send Bitcoin instead of Paypal, etc. and he had no clue whatsoever. Pretty common.
The MSM drove the bubble in 2013. And now they drive the long-winded collapse. Perfectly fits with the model I presented for the Chinese elite (who we are know are in bed with the Western elite, e.g. see Nelson Rockefeller spends most of his time over there now and he was the one who told Aaron Russo the plan for 9/11 and Bitcoin before it happened).
I am often amazed smooth how you can be so intelligent in so many areas yet totally blinded in others. I mean you don't even acknowledge the potential timing correlation I just pointed out.
I actually hope you are correct and that my suspicions are paranoia.
